ORDEN DIVINO
48" x 48"
Oil and mixed media on Canvas

​

There is power in the symbolism of a chapter closing. There is an energy shift in the direction of our choosing, if we believe in our power. The representation of the shadow in the collection that just came to an end, for me, signified the shame and guilt from feeling the need to be regimented, and the resistance within me that trickled outwardly when this need came up. Through working with my shadow, I understood there was an underlying fear of letting go of control. So I asked my shadow: “what is it that you are trying to teach me?” “What part of me will I discover when I let go and stop letting my mind be the protagonist?”. I soon learned that it all came down to deep trust. Trust in myself, trust in the flow, trust in whatever God may mean to each one of us, to me. (I do not subscribe to any religion, but I believe in a deep connection within us all that I call God). 

 

“Orden Divino” (“Divine Order”) is me putting that trust to work, it is me putting my mind on the back burner and trusting something bigger than me. It all came together on its own. I felt protected in this space; in a space I would typically feel self-judgmental, I felt free and held. (More info on this painting on the previous post where I shared a small sneak peek). 

 

The fact that this is the first painting after finishing “Metanoia” feels like alchemy in the making.

 

So deeply grateful.
